The Dieci.  That's Italian for "El Ten." 

What is it, you ask?  It's a brand new coffee/espresso drink in New York.  It's 10 shots of espresso in JUST ONE CUP!  That's right!  It's the best way to start your morning if you have to do A LOT of stuff!  It also saves TONS of time!

For example, if you have a business meeting, chug a Dieci and watch the meeting just fly by!

And THAT is how you get a meeting done. 

By the way, that employee just got promoted to President.  OF THE WORLD!

That's why you should drink the Dieci.

If anybody actually reads that, you are REALLY dedicated.  And I love you for it.

I'm off to find my espresso.

Enjoy Everything.

it sounded good

Soooooooooo...I was reading some stuff about food this weekend. I came across an article with the 10 best things to do with Nutella.

Now, as you should know, I'm a HUGE fan of Nutella. I started using it very recently for pretty much everything. Sandwiches, dipping, frosting, scrubbing, cleaning, mailing, you know...everything.

One thing I never tried was putting a spoonful in my coffee! I don't know how I missed that! This article told me to do that. They said it would taste great!

It! Did! not. Which is really weird because it totally should. Instead, it just tasted kinda icky. So I made a new coffee and just snacked on the tub of Nutella separately. That was MUCH better. Nutella makes a pretty good breakfast. Not a pretty good coffee.

Now, I won't stop you from TRYING this, but you have been warned. Warn-ed!

I'm off to Nutella the sink.

Enjoy Everything.

time to wake up

I don't know about you, but I need multiple alarm clocks to wake up in the morning. It's tough! It's really early!

I bet you sometimes have trouble waking up in the morning. Unless you don't have to do anything, then you can probably lounge around all morning. I would much rather do that.

If you do still have to wake up, I found an alarm clock that might make your day a little better. De Dietrich (which is supposed to be a person's name. I don't know if De Dietrich is male or female.) has created an alarm clock that makes coffee, pours a cup of juice and pops out a piece of yummy toast.

I don't know if it actually makes any buzzing noise to wake you up, but if you can wake up to the smell of toast, then I guess you're all set.

I can't see this waking me up. Unless it pours the coffee on my face, followed by the cup of juice and then shoots the toast at me. And it really has to fire that thing. I might not wake up with hot and cold beverages poured on me. Or, I might not wake up enough, so it may be helpful to get a rocket powered piece of toast shot at my noggin, too.

I don't think it actually does any of that, but it DOES have a little drawer for butter. Which, again, unless it is stuck up my nose, will not wake me up.

Maybe this would be enough for you. Maybe not. Do you want toast fired at your head every morning? Yes? Well then, maybe you can invent that alarm clock. The toast-shooter.

I would buy it.

I'm off to set my alarms.

Enjoy!

eat in the bathroom

I don't know much about Vienna. I've never been there. I don't know the culture. I couldn't even point it out on a globe. That doesn't bother me, though, because I can't think of anything in Vienna that I would need. Unless they have free money. But I don't think they do.

What they DO have is a bathroom cafe. There is a coffee shop in Vienna that has lined their walls with toilets. They don't work. They're just decoration. They did this because, and I'll quote them, "The bathroom is one of the last places in the world where men can sit and relax without women or other distractions."

Uh huh...

Women are allowed into the coffee shop, but not many come in. I imagine it's because the walls are lined with toilets and women in Vienna have taste.

Do you think of bathroom time as relaxing time? I mean, wouldn't you rather sit and watch TV or read a book and chill out with something fun? Or would you rather snuggle up with a toilet to drink your coffee?

What is wrong with the men in Vienna? They really need to get some better TV shows over there. Or some softer couches. SOMETHING to make it so the bathroom isn't where they want to eat!

I don't ever want to eat next to a toilet unless it's an emergency. Even then, I'll try to keep my company with the sink.

I'm off to relax ON A COUCH!

Enjoy!
